7-8 Submersive movie that illustrates emotions on screen
First off; most of my reviews i write quite soon after watching a movie - this is by those standards an exception.
I also want to point out the many reviews that are not really reviews regarding this movie, a few positive but manily negative. A review is supposed to be informative without spoilers and give clear information on how and why the reviewer like or disliked it.
7-8/10
If you do not let the french mentality and emotional way to communicate through association to feelings take yourself over (no matter if you find it rational or not) you will find this movie extremely slow. I started watching it twice and put it away because of the first 20 minutes, both of the times i were doing other things on the side. The third time i set off to submerge myself (as an extremely rational person it can take alot of effort to let the movie in, but i had started watching it so i would finish watching it), put other things aside and turn it on. It gives you something like a melancholical surrealistic drama, and you get to see it all unfold with emotions represented in the surrealism.
This is indeed a submersive movie (that is why i keep repeating it) that illustrates emotions on screen within the plotline as the characters experience them. This is a tragic lovestory in which the viewer get's completely covered with surrealism. Compared to the budget it's extremely well done regarding special effects which feels worked through and qualitative.
This is like opening a book which you might not fully enjoy but you are still captured by it and want to finish it.

With some higher high's the sadness would be concentrated more giving better effect (I don't mean to make it a tragic comedy but make it to increase the overall emotional effect)
Ignorance is only a bliss if you haven't reached awareness.
